What Makes Effective Supervision in Latent Chain-of-Thought: An Information-Theoretic Analysis

Xinghao Chen, Chak Tou Leong, Wenjin Guo +3

Latent Chain-of-Thought (CoT) internalizes reasoning within continuous hidden states, offering a promising alternative to verbose discrete reasoning traces. However, robust latent…

PowerOPD: Stabilizing On-Policy Distillation with Bounded Power Transformation

Anhao Zhao, Junlong Tong, Yingqi Fan +3

Standard on-policy distillation (OPD) for large language models estimates the reverse-KL objective using student-sampled tokens, yielding an unbiased single-sample Monte Carlo esti…

Decoupling KL and Trajectories: A Unified Perspective for SFT, DAgger, Offline RL, and OPD in LLM Distillation

Anhao Zhao, Haoran Xin, Yingqi Fan +3

Knowledge distillation is central to LLM post-training, yet its design space remains poorly understood, especially alongside reinforcement learning (RL). We show that the prevailin…

The Trace Is the State: Exact Credit Assignment for LLM Agent Teams

Yanjun Chen, Yirong Sun, Hanlin Wang +5

Credit assignment for a team of LLM agents, what each message was worth, has mostly been treated as prediction: a learned critic, a trajectory-level score, or an agent ablation sta…

Reasoning Beyond Language: A Comprehensive Survey on Latent Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Xinghao Chen, Anhao Zhao, Heming Xia +7

Large Language Models (LLMs) have shown impressive performance on complex tasks through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning. However, conventional CoT relies on explicitly verbalized…

Kernel-Based Enhanced Oversampling Method for Imbalanced Classification

Wenjie Li, Sibo Zhu, Zhijian Li +1

This paper introduces a novel oversampling technique designed to improve classification performance on imbalanced datasets. The proposed method enhances the traditional SMOTE algor…

Integrating Chain-of-Thought for Multimodal Alignment: A Study on 3D Vision-Language Learning

Yanjun Chen, Yirong Sun, Xinghao Chen +4

Chain-of-Thought (CoT) reasoning has proven effective in natural language tasks but remains underexplored in multimodal alignment. This study investigates its integration into 3D v…

Unveiling the Key Factors for Distilling Chain-of-Thought Reasoning

Xinghao Chen, Zhijing Sun, Wenjin Guo +8

Large Language Models (LLMs) excel in reasoning tasks through Chain-of-Thought (CoT) prompting. However, CoT prompting greatly increases computational demands, which has prompted g…
